Let $G$ be a finite group, $\mu$ be the M\"obius function on the subgroup lattice of $G$, and $\lambda$ be the M\"obius function on the poset of conjugacy classes of subgroups of $G$. It was proved by Pahlings that, whenever $G$ is…

Let $B$ be a M\"obius band and $f:B \to \mathbb{R}$ be a Morse map taking a constant value on $\partial B$, and $\mathcal{S}(f,\partial B)$ be the group of diffeomorphisms $h$ of $B$ fixed on $\partial B$ and preserving $f$ in the sense…

We give a simple algorithm that enables us to determine whether a subgroup of finite index of the Hecke group is normal.

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements and consider the $n$-dimensional $\mathbb{F}_q$-vector space $V=\mathbb{F}_q^n\,$. In this paper we define a closure operator on the subgroup lattice of the group $G =…

We derive explicit formulae for the subalgebra zeta functions of all higher Heisenberg Lie algebras over an arbitrary compact discrete valuation ring $\mathfrak{o}$. To this end, we develop Hecke-theoretic techniques for the enumeration, by…

We introduce the concept of a bounded below set in a lattice. This can be used to give a generalization of Rota's broken circuit theorem to any finite lattice. We then show how this result can be used to compute and combinatorially explain…

We study filters in the partition lattice formed by restricting to partitions by type. The M\"obius function is determined in terms of the easier-to-compute descent set statistics on permutations and the M\"obius function of filters in the…

We consider the M\"obius function on the poset of element centers and obtain some new results regarding centralizers in a $p$-group.

In $\mathcal L$, the semilattice of faces of an $n$-cube, we count the number of automorphisms of $\mathcal L$ that fix a given subalgebra -- either pointwise or as a subalgebra. By using M\"obius inversion we get a formula for the number…

The symmetric group $\mathfrak S_{n+1}$ of degree $n+1$ admits an $n$-dimensional irreducible $\mathbf Q \mathfrak S_n$-module $V$ corresponding to the hook partition $(2,1^{n-1})$. By the work of Craig and Plesken we know that there are…

For a finite group $G$ and a positive integer $n$, let $G(n)$ be the set of all elements in $G$ such that $x^{n}=1$. The groups $G$ and $H$ are said to be of the same (order) type if $G(n)=H(n)$, for all $n$. The main aim of this paper is…

We generalize the character formulas for multiplicities of irreducible constituents from group theory to semigroup theory using Rota's theory of M\"obius inversion. The technique works for a large class of semigroups including: inverse…

We consider what some authors call 'parabolic M\"obius subgroups' of matrices over Z, Q, and R and focus on the membership problem in these subgroups and complexity of relevant algorithms.

We present an elementary proof of the theorem of Hawkes, Isaacs and \"Ozaydin, which states that $\Sigma\,\mu_{G}(H,K)\equiv 0$ mod $d$, where $\mu_{G}$ denotes the M\"obius function for the subgroup lattice of a finite group $G$, $H$…

By using exclusively real analysis, we give explicit estimates of some classical summatory functions involving the M\"obius function.

The representation theory of the quantum group su$_q(2)$ is used to introduce $q$-analogues of the Wigner rotation matrices, spherical functions, and Legendre polynomials. The method amounts to an extension of variable separation from…

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis we establish an upper bound for the sum of the M{\" o}bius function up to $x$. Our method is based on estimating the frequency with which intervals of a given length can contain an unusual number of ordinates…

In this paper we study a subclass of subcartesian space-the orbit space of a proper action of Lie group on smooth manifold. We show that continuous functions on orbit space can be approximated by smooth functions.

Holomorphic quaternion functions only admit affine functions; thus, the M\"obius transformation for these functions, which we call quaternionic holomorphic transformation (QHT), only comprises similarity transformations. We determine a…

This is an introduction to the M\"obius function of a poset. The chief novelty is in the exposition. We show how order-preserving maps from one poset to another can be used to relate their M\"obius functions. We derive the basic results on…
